Agenda and Minutes

Refactoring Progress Report

• Removing tests for optional, and therefore removed, specifications.
  • We will prune additional tests as we encounter them.
  • This will make it faster to iterate on the remainder of the work, because it will decrease the overall time it takes to run the complete TCK.
• Status Board
• Please consider attending the Platform TCK call: 11 am EDT Wednesday 2024-07-31.

        • EL
  • ANSWER: Yes, let’s cut an RC1 when these are in.
• @Resource and CDI/JPA integration
  • Look to deprecate JNDI, @Resource, @Resources in favor of Config
    • Even though this references Config, I believe we should deprecate JNDI, @Resource and @Resources to allow for removal in EE12 or later.
    • Table discussion of https://github.com/jakartaee/platform/issues/355 until + are on the call.
  • CDI/JPA Integration
    • This is ready to merge. Further updates should be made as the TCK tests are written to address outstanding questions on the PR.
  • Scott Marlow voiced concern that the persistence stakeholders may not be paying attention to the platform mailing list, so the issue may not have adequate representation.
